Panel discusses irrigation use
By Carol Harrah
Expanding irrigation projects and deciding on project
ed cost benefits in Nebraska were the topics of an irri
gation conference held in the East Union Thursday after
noon. A four-member panel of people involved in various ag
ricultural professions that deal with irrigation discussed
proper water use and the cost of irrigation to an audience
of 50.
Vincent Dreeszan, director of the Conservation and
Survey Division in the Institute of Agriculture and Natural
Resources, said, "I have a reverence for water that people
might find excessive. I consider myself an environmental
ist with a geological appreciation for time and change in
relation to land.'
Dreeszan said the future use of water within the state
depends on how much farm land is irrigated.
"There are presently seven million acres of irrigated
farm land in Nebraska, and some studies project that there
will be nine to 12 million acres being irrigated by the year
2000,' Dreeszan said.
Jack Hart, executive coordinator of natural resources
and special assistant to Gov. Charles Thone, talked about
Nebraska's dependence on irrigation.
"Nebraska depends more on irrigation for its economy
than any other state," Hart said. "At the present time, we
have the highest percentage of farmland under irrigation
in the country, and are the third-ranked state in irrigated
acres. We are behind Texas and California, who'have more
land area than we do."
Hart said Nebraska has enough soil to double the num
ber of irrigated acres within the next 20 to 30 years.
Loyd Fischer, UNL professor of agricultural econo
mics, said water is abused because it is cheap.
Water is free
"We have gone after public policy and made water
cheap and abundant. Now we are shocked to find out
that people abuse water by using it too much," he said.
"In fact, water is free. You pay for the cost of water treat
ment and its deliverance, but you don't pay for the water
itself."
Fischer discussed current projects in promoting irriga
tion and the cosh and benefits of irrigation.
"In increasing the amount of irrigation in Nebraska, we
dont like to talk about costs. We prefer to talk about the
benefits from it," he said. "But we need to talk about the
costs of water. We will continue to develop irrigation as
long as the irrigator himself doesn't have to pay for it."
"At the moment, the irrigator doesn't pay for it, and if
he did, then the cost of food would go up."
Robert Warrick, conservation chairman of the Sierra
Club, said that he disagrees with promoting an increase in
irrigation.
"We are fighting past projects here. I think the good
projects in the state have been built. You are going to run
into problems environmentally, with trying to irrigate for
future progressive projects."
Hart said irrigation is necessary for the Nebraska econ
omy. Competition for water
"We will be in competition for water in Nebraska with
other states," he said. "We will have to manage water bet
ter by stopping, holding and storing water wherever and
whenever we can. There's no way to know how much in
the way of benefits well get from it 40 years from now.
You put the money in it because you have to just like
medical research and military defense."
Fischer said, "We need to look at the costs of irriga
tion. We need to see how much an irrigator can pay for it,
and how many bushels per acre he is receiving from it,"
he said.
He said the average number of bushels per acre of com
under irrigation is 135, but that means that some, farmers
arent getting that sort of yield.
'That average number means that there are Nebraska
farmers who aren't getting 135 bushels per acre," he said.
"When a farmer gets about 50 bushels per acre or low
er - he is going to be washed out in two years."
Dreeszan said there are two forms of reservoirs from
which people get water.
"There are surface water reservoirs and ground water
reservoirs," he said. "Surface water reservoirs are in trou
ble because they are an expensive way of storing water "
Nobel recipient gets NU award
By Leslie Boellstorff
Nobel prizewinner Herbert C. Brown was at UNL
rhursday to accept an NU Foundation award for or
ganic chemistry.
Because of his research in boron chemistry and ster
tc effects, Brown received the Cliff S. Hamilton Award,
named after the former chairman of the UNL Chemis
try Department and given to internationally recognized
leaders in organic chemical research.
His discoveries will be useful in pharmaceuticals, in
combating ecological problems and in controlling the
insect population without using insecticides, he said.
Brown summarized 45 years of work in his accept
ance speech, as "Adventures in Research".
After earning his bachelor's degree in 1936, he said,
he began graduate work at the University of Chicago.
His doctoral thesis was on the diborene molecule, he
said. He first became aware of the subject because of a
book his fiancee gave him. He said she gave it to him
for graduation because it was the least costly book on
chemistry she could find.
After he received his doctorate degree, he couldnt
find industrial work, so he began an academic career as
a post-doctorate fellow. Although he was an inorganic
chemist, Brown was going to research the pituitary
gland. But while he was waiting for the donation of
some specimens, he became involved in other areas of
research, which led to some of the more important dis
coveries of his career, he said.
"It doesn't pay to be too rigid in pursuing one's
objectives," Brown said.
During World War II, Brown began researching vola
tile and stable compounds of uranium, he said. But by
the tiem they had developed practical uses for their
product, the war was over.
In 1943, Brown began work with the research pro
gram at Wayne State University, reaching associate
professor status. In 1947, he joined Purdue University.
He is currently Wetherill Research Professor Emeritus
at Purdue.
Brown said his research has opened up a new
tinent" of chemistry to be explored.
con-
He said he considered organic chemistry to be a
mature science in 1936, but he proved himself wrong.
There are many valuable new techniques yet to be dis
covered, he said.
